Project Summary

Wiser Technology performed a technical audit for a higher-education matching platform operated by Advent Group, investigating source code, databases, cloud services, and on-premise servers. The engagement focused on identifying shortcomings in the virtual events system and improving stability, scalability, and maintainability. The vendor delivered reports with hands-on recommendations and completed the work successfully within the agreed timeframe while maintaining responsive, professional communication.

Key Challenges

Complex setup combining cloud services and physical infrastructure
Shortcomings in the virtual events system affecting user experience
Need to ensure platform stability and scalability for global concurrent users
Requirement for a comprehensive technical audit covering source code, databases, and servers

Project Deliverables

Project Solution

The vendor conducted a two-phase technical audit: first reviewing source code and the database, then analyzing the system setup from an architectural and hardware perspective across cloud and on-premise infrastructure. They assessed stability, scalability, and maintainability for global virtual events use, and staffed the engagement with a senior PHP engineer, a software architect, a system administrator, and a delivery manager. They delivered reports with observations and actionable recommendations including infrastructure changes to improve conferencing scalability.
